Join us on Wednesday, July, 15th at 7 PM Eastern Time for The Story of Me — Creating a Personal Visual Storyboard with artist Micaila Britto.
Photography is more than taking pictures. It is a way of preserving memories, expressing identity, and sharing our stories. In this interactive workshop, participants will create a simple visual storyboard using photographs, words, symbols, and personal reflections to explore the experiences, people, challenges, and dreams that shape who they are. No photography experience or artistic skill is required. Participants will leave with a unique visual representation of their personal story and a deeper understanding of how images can communicate meaning, connection, and belonging.
Suggested Supplies:
- Blank paper, notebook, or sketchbook
- Markers, colored pencils, or pens
- Printed photographs (optional)
- Magazines for cutting images (optional)
- Glue, tape, or scissors (optional)
- Digital tools if you prefer to create electronically
